Josip Broz Tito (1892–1980) was the leader of Yugoslavia, which existed from 1943 until 1991. During World War II Tito organized an anti-fascist resistance movement (the Yugoslav Partisans). After World War II he defied Soviet influence and founded the Non-Aligned Movement.
"Stop sending people to kill me," Tito once wrote to Joseph Stalin. "If you don't stop sending killers, I'll send one to Moscow, and I won't have to send a second." Stalin expelled the Yugoslav Communist Party on June 28, 1948. Tito was perhaps the only person who stood up to Stalin and survived.
